Defensively, UWA has been active with 7.9 steals per game but has struggled with turnovers, committing 19.6 per contest. The Tigers will need to limit mistakes and improve their efficiency on the offensive end to be competitive on the road.  
 
Montevallo (10-13, 8-10 GSC) enters the contest looking to stay in the hunt for a conference tournament spot. The Falcons average 63.3 points per game while allowing 67.4. They have been slightly more efficient offensively than UWA, shooting 38.9% from the floor and 29.1% from beyond the arc.
